Wondering Why

Hailing from Mobile, Alabama, The Red Clay Strays weave classic country, Southern rock, and gospel threads into their own brand of high-octane rock and roll. The quintet are known for their energetic live performances and authentic sound.

After a five-year ordeal with a major label that tried to polish their raw sound and constrain their creativity, The Red Clay Strays decided to take matters into their own hands. With the support of their loyal fans who contributed to a crowdfunding campaign, the band secured a private studio where they could bring their musical vision to fruition. In a marathon session of eight days, they recorded 12 songs, working tirelessly and sleeping on the studio floor. The outcome was their debut album, Moment of Truth, which hit the shelves on April 29, 2022.

Penned by frontman Brandon Coleman and guitarist Drew Nix with frequent Kip Moore collaborator Dan Couch, "Wondering Why" is the album's breakout song. It debuted at #93 on the Hot 100 dated December 30, 2023.
